Maria Snyder, that’s me. I smile as I say: I’m a Mom, Daughter, Wife, Friend, CPA, social media manager and author extraordinaire all rolled into one. Yes these are listed in somewhat of an order. My life has priorities some titles are more important than others.
I Google myself once and a while, no I am not selfish. I just need to see who my competition is.
There are two other Maria Snyder’s — omg I know right, wait till Mom hears!
I’ve emailed both Maria’s to say “hello, I’m the other non famous Maria Snyder, the Mom, Daughter, Wife, Friend, CPA, social media manager and author extraordinaire”. Scarily both were authors too, one a former super model, yeesh both have a Wikipedia Page! Note to self, add to my immediate to do list: get a Wikipedia Page about me STAT.
What’s a girl to do but to seek improvement. I’m a self starting boot strapping smart woman and here are some of the steps I took to make sure I get noticed somewhere in the mix of the other Maria Snyder’s out there.

-

-
I emailed each of the others with a short note, they didn’t respond I made the first move and did not expect a response anyway
So that is it. End of story, I’ll update with any response I receive from them.
